The Laundry ? IF you want to know which, brand of Collars is best value, take an indellible pencil and mark on each of several brands every time they go to the laundry. Then you can see which you get the most wear out of. If one of them is a- j Corliss-Coon Collar lt will have the most marks, and for the reasons : They are always four-ply-that means body and gives strength. Tho over-cast stitching prevents cracking of surface linen. The gutter seams prevents saw edges. The double cross-stitched, reinforced button holes outlast the Collar. Every one knows these extras add to the cost of manufac ture-but you get collars that wear-and you get them here at the same price you pay for Collars without these improvements.

CONDUCTED BY J. O. 8TRIBLINQ. aa?- Com mu lea tiona Intended for this department should be addressed to J. C. Stribliog, Pendleton, S. C. A Sure Plan to Control Prices of Cotton. Begin to plan now to plant plenty food cropB for both man and beast, then yon will not have to go in debt for these and can afford to hold cotton until you get your price. If you have a fine crop of peavines, cut the vineB off for hay after pods are well grown and begin to ripen. Then turn this pea stubble as deep as possible with two or three horse plows, barrow omooth and put in the grain, either oats cr wheat, with open furrow drills. We have been very successful with oats drilled in open furrow with the common cotton planter. Wo used a four-inch bull tongue on the planter and ran the rows just close enough to make a eharp ridge between the rows. I am sure this open furrow plan for winter oats ia a grand success if you will use winter or fall sown seed. If yon cannot get at least 25 cents per bushel for your cotton seed, it will oe best to use the seed to manure your wheat and oat land. Your pea vine land will bo benefited by the ad dition of from 300 to 600 pounds acid phosphate to t i? acre. Where a good crop ot peavines has been grown it does not pay to use cotton seed at 35 cents per bushel for either oats or wheat. Moat of the large aced houses now inoculate seeds: tar leguminous orops at a small additional cost, and if the land you intend sowing in any of the clovers have not proven to be good clover land, it will sorely pay you to buy the inoculated seed. Thia makes the risk much less. As a rule most any land that has been heavily manured with stable manure within two years will produce geed crops of alfalfa or any of the clovers Without inoculating tne soed, but it is very necessary to inoculate wh6re artificial manure or cotton aced has been used alone. It ia a costly job to prepare laud for any leguminous crop, ana in addition to the cost of preparation and manure the seed is a considerable item of cost, and the sma'l additional coat for in oculating tho seed will remove the risk here. Make the land rich, and then you can afford to prepare it as it should bo prepared. Don't sweat on Door land, only when you are trying to make it rich. It won't pav, and beside? this, ?ou feel so badly while working poor and. _' _ Do you believe that the hand of Providence is in this movement of cot ton growers to protect their interest? If yon do not, you ought tc stop it at once, for the reason that cotton grow ers were never before known to try to protect their interest by such a grand concert of uction. All the crowd that has been ..-caping such rich harvest off of om cotton, say that Providence done it all. They do not believe the truth that Providence bolus those who help themselves. Some of our leaders-like Moses are about to lose their heads by dot ing on what they have done, without giving due acknowledgements to Providence and all other powers that are factors for good itt this movement. Remember bow Moses did. After serving as tho leader of his people for forty years in the wilderness, and be came in sight of the promise land, he smote the rock and commanded the reek to give water to his people in his own name instead nf the same af Hod; an*l for tb ic sis xsoU told him that he should never enter the promised land. Remember Moses when you are dot ing about what you have done in this thing.. Give credit and honor to all tha? deserve it, and if you can find one man in the whole South that is not a friend for profitable prioes for cot to a. we ought to pay the freight on him ard ship him out. -?? ? mm The Farmers' Union Warehouses are like unto our forts and navy. We do not need our navy or forte unless the enemy invades our premises, and then it would be too late to build thean fortifications. So it is about tho warehouses: it mattera little whether cotton is sold at a good price this fall or nott we should nave our warehouse as a fortification to stand behind when trouble does oome. A great amount of talk has been had about the man ager of the warehouse. Now, this manager cati be changed at the expira tion of one year, or sooner, and put in another m case the first ont . ula tc como np to the scratch. We believe that tho coner,! tu ti on of tba warehouse company ought to bs made so that all j ownera of stock contd show an expres sion of .their choice. Thia privilege ought to give entire aatiafaction to j all. ? ? ' m . -m * . Stop kicking about what the other fellow U doing and do something for yonrfo?f. Usually the one that tells about eo much wrong-doing in others is the ; one that is not doing anything, either ?ood or bad. himself. A man that tafe* a?seh tsccs days ia sure to do something that displeases ?me one. id he that aria around and does . jthing, is about the only one that ia safe from tho charges of doing soma ) thing that displeases some one. We Farmers' Union people are talking too ranch about what other people are do - ' gVand are not doing what weare -ganised to do for ourselves Now, beyond doubt, the Farmer** Union is ft power in the cotton belt. F n cerc of action among themaelve. if can surely control more than two million bales of cotton. Why not then say te the world, we have absoluto control of two aaa ft half million bales of cotton, and that thia cotton has cost ns more per sere to produce it than any crop we have ever made; and that the crop is not an av erage yield, therefore we demand a reasonable profit for our. labor, which ls not under 121 cents per pound. Wo need not care whether Government reports are ' fraudulent or correct, or whether* tihe boll weevil is in Texas, or whether it rains or does not rain in other sections. We set our cotton saide for 1^} cents, and let others thi:?k and talk a*.much n's they please;'but ?yon cao't gv't our cotton orjlj nc our prices. Reunion of the Old Schools. Of the many pleasant occasions of the season there has probably been none of greater interest than the re union of tho old echools of Holly Springs, Sourwood Spring and Hun ter's boring, which was celebrated at Sunset Forest, the splendid summer home of Mr. Jos. J. Fretwell, near the oity limits, on Thursday, 31st August. The patrons, scholars uud * ii -ndn of the three schools, which in their day was so well patronized, have foi sev eral years held their re ailinn meeting at SuuGot Forest. Mr. J. J. Fretwell is the president of the Association, and has always shown ? great interest in the meeting, as well as to throw his splendid house and grounds open for the use "f his old schoolmates on theso occasions, lt was our privilege to at tend tho meeting on last Thursday, and it was certainly a success through out. Promptly at the call of tho chair man pro tem. Hon. Jno. E. Breazeale, the meeting was called to order, and the Secretary, Mr. J. B. Lewis, called the roll of members and read tbo min utes of the last meeting. At this stage of the proceedings the President, Mr. Fretwell, took charge of the meet ing, and tbe business continued with the reading of a paper written by Mr. John L. Jolly, a former pupil of Sour wood Spring, in which ho gave some reminiscences of the school. His paper was listened to with marked attention, and was loudly applauded. Mr. Jolly was not present at the meeting, but his paper was read by the secretary and provoked a great deal of laughter as the humorous verses of the article were read. A vote of thanks was ten dered him for bis admirnblo paper. A card from Rev. E. Z. Brown was read, assigning his reasons for absence from "school," he being engaged in conducting a meeting at his church in the country. Other matters of interest were en gaged in, among which we may men tion the singing exercises, conduoted by Mr. Tyre Norris, of Pickens county, and Mr. John Eskew. Mr. Eskew, with the assistance of Mr. Phillips, entertained the crowd with a capital rendering of tho "Bumble Bee," which was greatly enjoyed. Col. B. F. Crayton was called upon and gave an interesting talk on the origin of the County Fair, and closed with an appeal to all present to use their best efforts in assisting to build up the New County Fair, by givicg it their support in every possible way. He was followed by Mr. Fretwell, who ably seconded Col. Crayton, and earnestly upheld the cause of our county lair. The Committee of Arrangements an nounced dinner, which was served in the good old "picnic" style, and ? more varied and bountiful spread could scarcely be imagined than met our eyes ue we proceeded to refresh the inner mon. The spacious table, which had been arranged in the grovo near the spring, WUB literally loaded with the good things whioh were brought by those directly connected with the meeting and by the friends who had aBeembled to participate v?ith them. After dinner had been dispatched, the "Spelling Match" was called, and this was a feature of the program to be remembered. Mr. P. S. Mahaffey, of To wn ville, and Mr. J. Wm. Eakew were present, having been teachers in one or the other of the scbools repre sented. Mr. Eskew conducted the spelling match, while Mr. Mahadey at tended with the "rod," to keep order. You may imagine a line of at least iii'ty men and women, the majority of whom were over 50 years of age, each taking their turn at a word givan ont by the teacher, from the old Webster's speller, and if one chanced to miss the word, it was carried down the line till some member of the class spelled it correctly, and then turned down the defeated member. This was all sew to the young people present, but well understood and. remembered by the older ones. Mr. R. E. Nicholson, Superintendent of Education, read an admirable paper on the old and new system of public schools. He wa9 listened to. with marked appreciation, and upon motion he was requested to furnish thje Secre tary with a copy bf his remarks for publication. The meeting, on motion, adopted resolutions of sympathy for Mrs. Eugenia Duckett in her past bereave ment and present affl stion. The President appointed J. A. Es kew, J. N. By rum, C. O. Burri?, A. M. Hombree, S. N. Moore, as a committee of arrangements for the next meetinar, and announced Capt. P. K. McCuUy, Sr., as the orator for that occasion. The present officers were re-eleoted, and tho meeting adjourned to meet on the second Friday in August, 1000. Hooea Path. R. f. D. No. 2 Items. As we have never seen any items from this place, we will endeavor to give you a few dota. The corn crop throughout this sec tion hr fairly good, while the cotton crop is not so good as last year's crop. It the weather proves favorable it will be very good. N. P.

If ooo has already Btudied tho vari ous attitudes of affiliation and opposi tion on the part of those having any views at all aud standing on auydeii nite position at all, he will not have to look loog boforo tho following and other like groupings would appear: Prohibitionist vs. Dispensary. Prohibitionist vs. Licenee System. Dispensaryito vs. Liceusc Systenil Blind Tiger vs. Dispensary. Blind Tiger vs, Licenso System. License Advocrte VB. Prohibition. License Advooato vs. Dispensary. Dispensaryito vs. Prohibition. Dispensaryito vs. Blind Tiger. Licenso Advocate vs. Blind Tiger. Teetotaler vs. Dispensary. Teetotaler vs. License System. Teetotaler vs. Prohibition. Teetotaler pro Dispensary. Consume'' pro-Dispenaary. Consumer vs. Dispensary. Consumer pro-Liounso System. Consumer pro-Prohibition. Consumer vs. Prohibition. Taxpayer vs. Prohibition. Taxpayer vs. Consumer. These might be amplified, but they aro quito sufficient to show-uot more that the subject is many bided than that there aro BO many stand points from whioh men think and speak and act with reference to it Let us not forget that the "man up a tree" is not a partisan. Shakes pearo's mau up a treu wasn't; though his part was to fairly rovel in what ho saw beneath him of blind ignoranoo, of oraft, of pretenso, of prejudice, of greed, eto, Our man np a'roo is interested in finding for himself his true plr.ee as a voter and a citizen. An apostrophe to the honeBt-rcmded, intelligent, in dependent voter! Without him our very institutions would crumble Ho is too fow yot-too much room yot for the play of tho artful politician, too much following aftor a blind lead, too little individuality, too much partisan ship, too much graft, too much greed, too much cant, too muoh pBuedo mor ality and pretensive religion, too muoh looking after the neighbor's morals to the neglect of their own by those who ?'strain at a quart but swallow a canal," too muoh fear of publio dis favor, loo much dread of oven a church's maranatha, too much valu ation of men and measures by tho ? standard of dollars and conta, j It is, however, comforting to reflect that our people are growing in liberal ity. A few years ago tho man who dur ed tc declaro himself against the special prohibition measure proposed for Anders JU County would find turn ed against him a vehement tide of popular prejudioe, and later the can didate who did not align himself with the new popular movement was howl ed down. No placo thero for deliber ate, independent individual judgment. Men have at times suffered themselves to be wrought up to white heat by those who found theso methods neces sary to their own political ends. We have now a better opportunity thanks to the times-for individual independence in voting, and there is more independence and leas blind par tisanship. It does not follow that beoause a man differs from me on a publio question ho is either a knave or a fool, though ho oould be cither, anyway. All prohibitionists are not oranks, but some aro. Ail dispen santes are not blind partisans, but some are. All who advocate the sale by the individual under proper re strictions are not liquor dealers, but some aro. No system yob developed suited all, and majorit?s are not alway? right, though they govern. But to return to our classifications. In placing themselves on one or the other side of the question of "dispen sary" or "uo dispensary," some will firid strange if not distasteful bed-fel lows. There would seem to be no room for any overbearing partisanship or fanaticism whore tl? voters cover suoh a variety of classes and ph ere so many vote together from Buch di verse motives. Lion and lamb this time, teetotaler and dispensaryite, prohibitionist and license advooate. taxpayer and grafter, pap sucker ana "boozo artist." So line up friends, and don't be minoy about the com pany. Dispene&ryit? to prohibitionist, "We agree aa against the lioense sys tem; why play into the hands of its advocates? ' B ind tiger and quondam dealer to Prohibitionist, "We will fight with yon this time, bot 'agin' yon later on." Teetotaler to prohibitionist, "Asl am a non-consumer of intoxicants, I shall let the ot?er fellow pay for the liquor, and t? o profita will go to lighten my tax borden. So I shall vote to retain the dispensary." Consumer to Dispensary!te, "There isn't a drop of chemically pure liquor pat np in Colombia, and practically every label plastered on there bears a lie on its face, i ou have fooled tho teetotalers, and are fooling them yet with that speoioua 'warranted U. S. standard proof and chemically pure.' The troth is, you fooled me with your Sromise, bot no longer after yon began olivering the goods. These total ab stainers are not the best judges of good liquor and are easily gulled. You captuiod lots of them with that caird, but I shall soc to it that they get en lightened before election day. Why. some of your 'pop-skull' woola oraok even a nigger's head. Another thing. What thanks or ercdit dp I get fer paying thc taxes of tho to?al abstainer with tho St?to's profit ton thc liquor I drink? No, if I um to pay for what I usc and p^y my taxes 1 besides, 1 will buy in the world mar ket whore competition insures qual ity. That reminds me, Mr. Dispeu saryite, now that you ask me to vote with you, and thus open tho way for me to speak freely, you remember that tiret dispensary law you euacted? How sweepiug it was? What dire penalties on those who had goods [ shipped into ibo State for private usoT How hard you fought to make us drink your liquor becauso you were afraid some of us might get poisoned from without? That struck us as a lame excuse, but likely it was about us good as you oould woll trump. It was tho principle ou which you stood. You remember with what zeal your leader, thu father of the system in this State, and hi * confreres labored to establish throujh thc courts tho right of the State to prevent tho ship ment of liquor into the Stat2 for pri vate use, ou tho ground that tho citi zens of tho State might get poisoned by using liquor uot testid by tho State chemist? That was accounted unto them for righteousness then, but everybody knows botter uow. That reminds mo of another matter. You remember the couutless packages your army of salaried constables seized, to say nothing of the stray gallons of 'mountain dew' they captured'. What did you do with it? Dump it into thc Congarec as so much 'pizen?' Not a bit. You did confiscate it, but yo* daid so little about what you did wiih it. We used to hear rumors about the officials drinking it, but wo can't prove that. No, friend, if a man drinks at all, be ought iu justice to his health to drink something olean, and you don't ?ell it-exoept as pul up outsido tho State-and 1 am com ing to believe the wholesalers, find ing you are without competition herc and do not have to have the best goods, aro begiuning, under theil labels and seals, to send you sorrj goods. Thirty thousand dollars bribi to mako a $400,000 sale would suggest cheap goods. I havo about conn to tho conclusion that whatever ii put up by the dispensary at Columbi) or for the dispensary elsewhere is no likely to stand a true test of sounc goodf. From my standpoint you system is not only a failure, it i much of a fraud. I am not alono ii my position. Yon arc not apt to hoai much talk from the consumer, bu when time comes to aot, his influent will be felt, for he cannot butrepudi ate your system." Dispensary ohampion to audience "Any sane man will admit that th fundamental virtue of the system liei in the fact that the local dispenser being salaried, is under no inducemen to encourage purohasoc," Prohibitionists et al in chorus, "1 the servant greater than his lord Could he obtain or long hold his plao if not in full sympathy with tho gain getting spirit of thc system? Indeed is it not likely he will be found eve vigilant to promote its success?-it financial success, for its avenue t< success lies along no otbor route Finanoial success, moral failure am vice versa. Is not his very depon denoe oaloulated to make of him bu a 'fawning syoophant at thc foot stool of power?' And moro, he is bc coming quite an astute grafter h?uj self. Look at Spartan burg. \v who does not expect to hear irr?v others? Did you say 'fundamental? Or what were the terms employed Why, as we Bee it, there ?B but 00 fundamental or oardinal feature t your system, and that ?B a monopol by the State of the liquor bus ness for profit. Look at it from ao sido, study it dipassionately, bo Iran in reasoning. What else is the? about it that is fundamental?- Yo fail to save? Let us show you. Pi tient, please. If the sun-up and sui down feature (a purely arbitary an artificial one,) the sealed paokage fe: ture, the chemically pure test featur the one-purchase-a-d?y featur (whether four gallons or a half pin for it's not the quantity so much 1 the number of purohascs limited t this feature,) the sign-yo ur-name fe ture, tho drink-somewbere-else fe ture had, by the legislature, bec tacked on to tho license system, woul you, could you say these were card nal features of what you emphasize 1 .thcbarroom system? Neitheroan ye say that they are in any proper sent oardinal features of your system. Tl truth is they are only incidental, ai oould be taoked on to any system valuable. But moat of these are, aft all, only cheap paint. Why misles the poople thus? You persuaded tl legislature to adopt your system 1 emphasizing these incidental featur as fundamental and of great mor weight. It was with these you 'grea ed' your monopoly through the ls making body. As fer thc people, tin have never onoe asked for the dispe sary. They did by their vote dem ac firohibition, but you took that tab ated voie ; and converted it into yo so-called moral measure, and what monster that legislature did bril forth I What a substitution! Wh clean grist carried to the mill to b come suoh bread after grinding! 1 not say the prohibition vote was sma Suppose it was. Those who failed vote in that eleotion simply seali their own lips. They can't oomplai That vote should have been the gui of every legislator who respected t people's will. By what vote in ai election iu whioh the people have h the olean out, unmixed chanco speak, have they demanded the sj tem you gave them? They have o yet accepted it as, in their judgmet the true solution of the problem, is easy to explain how so many ?>>o] did acquiesce. The great bulk ot 1 people had boen too recently tied in a knot, welded at the white heat j excitement and feeling incident, lo political upheaval to break away I.thc ground of any measure tho le ul? might formulate. It readily became a partisan measure. It was done be fore tho people had time to cool and think, and within the ranks of tho as cendant faction there was no immediate kioking. Having become a law, judges and juries enforced it, in some cases rigorously. Competition, being un lawful, was crushed. The blind tiger found himself alone in his light against the State. Tho law abiding citizen who did not sympathize with the sys tem, would not support him, and he has been effectually drivvn from the Geld. Your people asked for bread, you gave them a stone. Ohl tho graves dug since then!-for fish you gave them tho serpent. Oh! the homos across whoso sacred thresholds ho has since then dragged his poisonous form and his noisome coils. Excuse us, speaker, for just a mo ment's pause, a drop of sentiment. We would like to keep sentiment out of this discussion, but wo can't. Hearts aro warm, dollars aro cold. Tears will well up sometimes when wo remembrr how much of life's hard licke struck for bread havo gone to save others from their just part of the tax burden. Aro taxes so hard to bear, education so dear, crime so diffi cult to suppress that the Stato must embark in the liquor traffic? Your pillar of defonso is tho saving of taxes, Whose taxes? You claim to have made it a success-a fiuanoial success. Yes, give any man the ex clusive field with the power to sup press competition, with all the ma chinery of the courts and an army of salaried constables, and it will require no sagacity to make a brilliant suooesB of tho liquor business. Tho State's true place, as wo conceive it, is to police the traffic by watching it, by exorcising due espionage over it, cur tailing its extravagances, minimising its evils by all proper restraints, or if you please, by suppressing it altogether; but we fail to find sound precedent for monopolizing it. Who is to police tho State? What power shall ourb her greed when onoe abo tastes this easy won blood money? What shall prevent her from adopting any of the tricks of the dealer to serve the main end? What is her record along that line? What olean handed official stands ready to enforce the 'moral* features of your system? Those charged with the enforcement of the law have broken the very backs of your oompotitors-the blind tigers. What more have they done? Now and then a show is made of enforcing the other features, but the main fight has been to pat down competition. That you have done effectually, so far as dealers within the limits of the State are concerned, and if inter state law had not prevented you, you would today be keeping baok ship ments from without for private me. and doubtless selling meaner goods by reason of that suppressed compe tition. If you will link together the incongruous, the incompatible-the financial and the moral, or rather if you insist that you can do both at the same time and under the same sys tem, you might try the experiment of prohibiting the sale in the State by the individual, abandon the sale with in the State by the State to the citi zen, repress by all lawful means or even unlawful, the use of intoxicants by the citizen, and thus promote good morals, and then embark on a stupen dous scale in the manufacture by the Stato for Bale without tho State. Ia this way you will not be buying abroad to sell to your own people and thus sending money away, but you. will be exporters of the goods. In this way you could relieve every tax payer of that odiouB burden you are BO troubled to meet, and the name 'taxpayer' would be lost from the State's vocabulary and the county auditor and tax collector would soon find, like Othello, his occupation gone. No, seriously, your system has been fairly tested-weighed in the balance -even when rammed down the throats of the people and suffered by them to be tried-and found wanting essen tially as a moral or polioe measure. AB a tax measure, it is violative of that cardinal doctrine that taxes shall be uniform and equal-in this it is grossly unjust, and is vastly removed from a true solution of the liquor problem. It must go." XXX Town vi Ile News. Mr. and Mrs. Jones, from Lavonia, Ga., visited S. A. Burgess quite recent ly Mrs. Dr. W. K. Sharp, of Rivoli, and Mrs. D. A.
